Ingredients
Pretzel Crust
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened

- 8 ounces whipped topping such a Cool Whip, thawed
Strawberry Topping

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Gently fold in Cool Whip with a spatula. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pretzel crust and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
